			<h1>TEXTJOIN Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>TEXTJOIN</b> function is one of the <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertFunction.htm#textdata" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">text and data functions</a>. Is used to combine the text from multiple ranges and/or strings, and includes a delimiter you specify between each text value that will be combined; if the delimiter is an empty text string, this function will effectively concatenate the ranges. This function is similar to the <b>CONCAT</b> function, but the difference is that the <b>CONCAT</b> function cannot accept a delimiter.</p>
			<h3>Syntax</h3> 
			<p><b><em>TEXTJOIN(delimiter, ignore_empty, text1, [text2], ...)</em></b></p> 
			<p>The <b>TEXTJOIN</b> function has the following argument:</p>
            <table style="width: 40%">
                <tr>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4" width="150ch"><b>Argument</b></th>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4"><b>Description</b></th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><b><em>delimiter</em></b></td>
                    <td>The delimiter to be inserted between the text values. Can be specified as a text string enclosed by double quotes (e.g. <b>","</b> (comma), <b>" "</b> (space), <b>"\"</b> (backslash) etc.) or as a reference to a cell or range of cells.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>ignore_empty</em></b></td>
                    <td>A logical value that specifies whether empty cells should be ignored. When the value is set to TRUE, empty cells are ignored.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>text1/2/n</em></b></td>
                    <td>Up to 253 data values. Each value can be a text string or a reference to a range of cells.</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
